This chronology aims to list in chronological order BY COVER DATE all the superhero comics put out by Marvel
Comics. The list starts in November 1961 with the publication of Fantastic Four #1 and will continue onward
until I collapse in a massive heap. What is unique about this list is that it will provide easy access links to
feature pages for each comic, as well as showcase which comics have been canonized in Masterworks and which
have not.

The comics that are in bold HAVE been printed in Masterworks. The comics that are listed in italics HAVE NOT
been printed in Masterworks. Each comic entry is listed in numerical order, though these are not definitively
the order in which they are printed. It's just an attempt to give a ballpark idea of the rate at which Marvel
was forging ahead with their superhero era. (If you would like to check out a list of Marvel's Silver Age comics in
roughly the order they were published, check out Joe Marek's site at THIS LINK!)

At some point in the future, I will assimilate monster, western and other Marvel comics into the list, but for
now the focus is on superheroes. As always, email if you have recommendations or spot errors. I hope to have
all comics feature pages online as time allows, and as they see print in Masterworks.

Also, enjoy the LETTERS PAGES and HOUSE ADS that I have compiled for online viewing. There are links next
to each comic that give you access to these historical treasures. If you can help increase this website's inventory
of letters pages, please email me and offer your services. Thanks!
